Sigh. It is a bit unfair. There should have been a "famous last concert" in Europe, too.

From doing a little bit of study of this topic going by the clues in Jarkkos last message I'm guessing the last concert is in San Francisco.....

Can't be. SF is not a "desert oasis" and earlier it was mentioned that there will be no more concerts in California.

Oh yeah forgot the California bit. Forgive me, my American geography can be a bit off at times Ok further study and the answer has to be Las Vegas

And could the winner possibly be................with 950 posts (messages).....Leslie/Mutti

Well 'far away' depends on your location. Far away from Europe? Far away from America? Far away from XYZ?

The message was about the distances between Phnom Penh and ..uhm.. the desert oasis!

"the island" and "the desert oasis" - really cute, jarkko!
sounds like the names of new leonard cohen songs ...

greetings

Thanks, Jarkko - the last two in Las Vegas so.
Definition of an "active member" is questionable - after all, Leonard has always emphasised QUALITY rather than quantity !
How about recognition for the LONGEST serving members of the Forum, those who were loyal supporters before touring resumed and the rest of us jumped on board from 2008 on?

Oh I see

Well need to check my maps then..

That's a good starting point:

Reading back through this thread, my guess is that Leslie/Mutti is the winner, with 950 posts and her answer of 'Las Vegas' for the last concert of the tour. I hope, hope, hope she is right, because that's a destination which would be possible for me to get to – oh please, please, please!!

"the island" and "the desert oasis" appeared to suggest Hydra or Dubai/UAE and Las Vegas but the latter places may not be everyones idea of an 'oasis' and Hydra starts with a 'H' (and may not have an appropriate venue)...I am clueless

Isle of Wight?
Anywhere in the UK is 'island'

This thread is boosting my IQ in geography, even if I'm not completely happy that nothing seems to start with the letter "M".

I have a degree in Geography and have identified an oasis on a desert island with a beach beginning with an H but I am not sure Leonard is planning to perform in the Nile estuary!
